Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 377 A meticulous plan! (Thanks to fellow AKIRA Jingjing for his small kindness and monthly ticket support~)
Seeing that the soldiers from Guangling City suddenly surrounded Xue Li, they hacked him to death with their swords.

Sun Ce immediately seized the opportunity and shouted to the eight thousand brothers behind him:
"Brothers! Kill all those bald asses! Don't let any of them go!
"They followed Zuo Rong so loyally, they must have done a lot of bad things.

"The world can be without monks, but it cannot be without people!"

Under Sun Ce's instigation, eight thousand soldiers instantly rushed towards the bald monks!
These monks are certainly stronger than ordinary soldiers.

However, in the battle just now, among the 5,000 casualties, more than 3,000 were these monks.

At this moment, there were less than 7,000 monk soldiers left. Most of them were quickly killed when the soldiers from Guangling City and Sun Ce's army attacked at the same time!
Some monk soldiers, seeing that they had no way to retreat, were forced to jump into the Suzhou West Lake and swim towards the other side.

When Wei Xu saw this scene, he immediately ordered archers to shoot into the lake, killing those monks who wanted to escape!

At the same time, an army of 10,000 led by Chen Gong had also arrived in the rear.

Naturally, Chen Gong did not actually go to Tangyi County.

When he saw that he was not being pursued by the enemy, he knew that the enemy was pursuing Sun Ce.

Although he was not worried that Sun Ce would lose, he also wanted to minimize the casualties of his own soldiers, so he rushed here without stopping.

Fortunately, when he arrived, he saw that the soldiers of Guangling City were already slaughtering the monks crazily.

It seems that not only did he successfully lure the enemy out, but the psychological warfare strategy he taught to Sun Ce also worked!

In this way, if we are lucky later, we may be able to capture Guangling City in one fell swoop!

While Chen Gong was thinking about this, the battle ahead was almost over.

There are 8,000 men on Sun Ce's side, plus the 8,000 soldiers from Guangling City.

Naturally, you have an overwhelming advantage when dealing with a group of monks holding iron sticks!

Soon, almost all the monk soldiers were wiped out.

Chen Gong immediately ordered his 10,000 men to clean up the battlefield and focus on treating the soldiers and civilians in Guangling City.

Because in the previous battle, Sun Ce's army did not kill these soldiers from Guangling City.

Therefore, some soldiers were only injured and not killed.

With Chen Gong's focused rescue, many soldiers were rescued!

Therefore, these soldiers from Guangling City were also grateful to Chen Gong and Sun Ce.

Wait until everyone has rested.

Chen Gong came to the remaining Guangling City soldiers and said to them:

"Brothers, I know that your family members are still in the city, being held hostage by Zuo Rong.

“If we want to ensure their safety right now, we must ask you to cooperate with us in putting on a show.

"It's just that this scene may require you to get hurt and bleed a little..."

Having said that, Chen Gong told his thoughts to all the soldiers.

The leading captain, who had a good appearance, immediately stood up and said:
"Master Chen, you don't have to be polite to us!
"We are originally soldiers under Lord Chu. If our families were not controlled, why would we obey Zuo Rong's orders?

"As long as we can save our families, we are willing to sacrifice our lives, let alone get hurt!"

After the captain finished speaking, the soldiers behind him responded one after another!

Chen Gong looked at the determined eyes of the crowd, and a heavy burden also came over his heart.

He comforted the crowd:

"Don't worry, I will do my best to ensure the safety of your family.

"Now, let's act according to the plan!"

……

On the city wall of Guangling City.

General Fan Neng suddenly saw two groups of people in the northeast, one in front and one behind, approaching Guangling City quickly. The group in front had about 7,000 people and was moving in a rather awkward manner.

And the team at the rear had almost eighteen thousand people!

Fan Neng immediately ordered the remaining 10,000 Guangling City soldiers in the city to be on full alert.

Soon, the 7,000 people being chased arrived at the foot of the city wall, and the leading captain shouted in panic:

"Open the city gate and let us in! We are family!

"We fell into the enemy's trap, and more than 10,000 soldiers out of 20,000 were killed!"

Fan Neng's face changed and he subconsciously prepared to let them in.

But suddenly, he thought of something, and swept his eyes over the seven thousand people below, but did not see a single bald head!
Fan Neng immediately became alert and asked quickly:
"Where is General Xue Li?!"

The leading captain immediately pointed at Xue Li, who was lying on the horse in the back and was covered in blood, and said:
"General Xue Li was... killed by the enemy soldiers. We only managed to retrieve his body..."

Hearing this, Fan Neng's mind suddenly became confused, and he asked again:

"Why is there not a single one of those 10,000 monk soldiers?!"

The captain cried:
"For some reason, the enemy army specifically targeted the monks to kill, so we took this opportunity to escape..."

Listening to the captain's answer, Fan Neng vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he was unwilling to let them in.

Seeing the pursuers getting closer and closer, the captain shouted hurriedly:
"If you don't open the city gate, we will surrender to the enemy!"

Fan Neng's heart tightened, but he was still hesitant.

At this moment, he suddenly saw the enemy troops in the rear shooting a wave of chaotic arrows at the Guangling City soldiers outside the city.

The soldiers of Guangling City below suddenly became agitated, and those who had horses and shields hurriedly hid behind their horses and shields.

Those who don’t have these things can only squat down and wave the weapons in their hands randomly forward, trying their best to protect their heads and vital parts.

However, there were still some who were unlucky enough to be hit by arrows, and immediately let out miserable cries.

Although Fan Neng was surprised at the quick reaction of the Guangling City soldiers outside the city.

But now the enemy is shooting at them with arrows, which means these Guangling City soldiers should still be their own people!
Fan Neng no longer hesitated and immediately ordered his men to open the city gates and welcome the soldiers from Guangling City into the city.

Sun Ce and Chen Gong in the rear smiled at each other when they saw the soldiers from Guangling City successfully enter the city.

Chen Gong's eyes flashed with sharpness:

"Next, we just need to wait for a day and let the enemy relax their guard a little.

"Tomorrow night, our army will capture Guangling City!"

Sun Ce on the side said with admiration:
"This plan of Gongtai is really very meticulous!
“I used to think Gongjin’s strategies were unmatched in the world.

"Today I know that your ability is no less than Gongjin's!"

Chen Gong smiled bitterly and waved his hand:

"My lord often says that I am 'slow to wise', and I feel that myself.

"If I were given enough time, or some useful suggestions, I would be able to come up with some fairly thorough strategies.

"But when it comes to my ability to respond to situations, I am far inferior to the geniuses like Gongjin and Fengxiao..."

Sun Ce patted the horse's neck and replied with a smile:

“It will naturally take more time to formulate a careful strategy.

"Their ability to respond to situations may be slightly better, but when it comes to the sophistication of their strategies, you, Gongtai, are still better!"

Chen Gong smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying nothing more.

He immediately turned his horse around and set up camp with the army 20 miles away from the east gate of Guangling City...
